that 1t was a deliberate throw, and the off1cer
making the arrest testified that Mrs. Lachs had
admitted to him that she threw the pancake as
she wanted Mrs. Cleveland TO see what St Louis
pancakes were like.

was fined $50 and COSTS Mrs. LachS wore Grand
Army badge when the pancake was thrown, but
denied at the trial that she was a member OF the
G. A. r.. or had any particular friendship for the
order. An appeal Will be taken.
